Now men don’t see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.

EXPLANATION

Verse 21. Light; being hindered by the clouds, and dazzled when they are removed. Yet we presume to judge of the secrets of Providence! Calmet.—Away. As there is a constant vicissitude of these things, so there is of happiness and misery. Menochius.—Septuagint “For the light is not seen by all. It is refulgent in beauties, as that which comes thence upon the clouds.” If, therefore, this light does not pervade all places, why should we wonder that all do not understand the ways of God?
